Hi friends,

I want to know how to secure my facebook account from hackers as recently one of my friend FB account was hacked and the hacker put nude pics on his facebook.

Secondly, I just checked my FB a/c from another person's account and found that all my posts & details could be viewed by anyone even if he is not my FB friend. How to close this?

regards
Desmond

Personally, I'd tell you to stop using Facebook altogether.

On topic though, you must ensure that you don't click any random links on FB. The most popular reason for accounts getting hacked is stupidity.

Also, make sure your profile is private and only friends can see it. Especially ensure that your email address and contact information is hidden.

Secondly, always check to make sure that the address in the address bar is "www.facebook.com" before entering your username and password to login to Facebook.

In case of a hack, report the hacked account to Facebook. Or use this link: *www.facebook.com/help/131719720300233/
